If I take my car for service at an official dealer; How can I prevent the mechanic or staff from taking my car for a joyride. I have a 911 Turbo Carrera S that requires a couple of days of work. I bought it for around $140,000.The staff knows the car is special. If I leave it at the official Porsche dealer; will they try to race it and go joyriding with it? How can I prevent this?

A Porsche dealer service center sees cars like yours all the tim. Frankly, its really just another chunk of metal to them. Believe me, 5 years in the automotive service industry have sapped me of any desire I had to go joy riding.

Give them the exact mileage when you are making up the work order. Tell them you do not want the car taken off their lot. and you will be checking when you pick it up. Depending on the work being done there are times when it is a must to road test. In these cases have them call you. Go to the dealership and accompany the tec. May put you out a bit but better than tires smoking in some remote spot.

I doubt if they will, they have too much work to do. But I would record the mileage of the car before I take it in and compare it to the mileage when I get it back. If there are too many miles difference, then complain to the management.
